Airlift
This one takes some teamwork and coordination, but you'll be cooler than
Maverick and Goose if you can pull it off. Have one player snag a two-seater
aircraft and take off flying solo. Now position a friend high upon a hilltop or
in a wide clearing, and get ready to have him jump into your aircraft for a
quick evacuation! Here's how you do it: the pilot needs to fly slow, steady, and
directly at the player on the ground -- be as close to his elevation as possible
without actually turning him into ground chuck as you pass overhead. At the key
moment that the aircraft meets the player, the grounded solider can quickly hit
the "E" key to hop into the cockpit and be whisked away into the clouds. Use
this one to rescue a wounded teammate in a hot zone, or deploy a comrade as a
paratrooper deep behind enemy lines. Just be sure to practice this one before
you try it out in a live match -- a plane-to-player collision is quite an ugly
sight and really hurts the team score.
Grand Theft Naval
This one is pretty hard to pull off, but pretty damn funny if you get the
chance. There's a couple of ways to get it done, but both are pretty hard to
pull off. The first involves you grabbing a plane and flying out to the enemy
destroyer or preferably the aircraft carrier. Jump out of the plane, open your
parachute and land on the deck of either ship. If you manage this, you'll be
able to run on board and take control of the thing. Then just take the sucker
out for a joy ride turning it to evil purposes. You could even turn it out to
sea and move it so far away from the objectives that it becomes totally useless
to anyone. The other way I've seen the theft go down is someone parking the
battleship to close to shore leaving it vulnerable to incursion. That's probably
not going to happen all that often, so you may only be able to consider the
first option as really viable unless you can get hold of a landing vessel and
pull off a pirate type boarding.
Grenade Launch
Sure, it may sound a little suicidal (okay, a lot suicidal) but if you're lucky
or playing on a friendly fire off server, you could be in for quite a ride. Just
drop a grenade on the ground, scream "Grenade!" at the top of your lungs, and
step right on top of the thing. If you don't die a horrifying death, you'll go
launching high into the sky. Why in the hell is this useful? Well, I suppose
it's not that useful, but it sure is fun and provides a couple of interesting
opportunities. First off, if you do it right, you can fly up into the air, hit
your parachute button, and float down on top of a building for a nice vantage
point. Second off, wouldn't you be a little frightened if an enemy came flying
down from the sky to land on your head? Third off, it's fun!
Leave No One Behind!
If you grab a jeep, landing boat, or multi-person plane, don't leave on your own
unless you're fairly certain that no one else will be there anytime soon. It's
always better to have more than one person fighting along side you when you
reach your destination. And it's certainly better to have someone man the guns
that are attached to many of these vehicles to provide some extra support
against ground forces. So take a moment to check around your area to make sure
there aren't more friendlies to join you before you take off. If you can't see
anyone on screen, just look at your map for the friendly arrows.
The Healing Dead
If you're out in the field and hurting for ammo or health with no hope of
reaching one of those handy dandy bunkers, just take a look around you. If there
was a firefight recently, chances are some people recently died. And as you
should know, players leave their equipment behind on the ground when they fade
away. You should also be aware that you can pick up any of these packs for
yourself. So if you notice a medic pack on the ground, switch out really quick
and use the health packs. After that it's up to you whether you want to change
back into your former gear. The same goes for running low on ammo. There's
nothing worse than getting stuck with a pistol in the middle of a machine gun
fight. So if you're out, find a dead guy and steal his stuff. If you're lucky,
he'll have some ammo left on him and you'll be back in business.
Explosive Jeeps
The Engineer's most powerful weapons are the Explosive Packs, but it's tough
getting them close enough to the target to do any damage. Here's a useful trick:
use a jeep to deliver the payload. Grab a jeep (the Axis jeeps work best, since
they have a deep back seat and tall sides) and throw a couple of expacks in the
back or passenger seat. If they're placed well, they'll stay in as you drive
towards the target. When you see a target, "ghost-drive" the jeep close to it --
i.e., point it in the right direction, floor it, and then hop out with the E
button, so the jeep coasts close to the target. If you time this right, you'll
be out of range of the explosives and the jeep will be right next to the target.
Then, hit the button and watch the fireworks. This is a great way to take out
tanks, APCs, and closely-packed groups of enemies. Try coasting exploding jeeps
into the middle of enemy spawn bases to do serious damage.
